Installation of fasteners should be completed as per manufacturers specification in accordance with engineering requirements specific to the application.
FABRICATION:MagBoard™ may be cut, trimmed, or drilled using ordinary power or hand tools. The use of a dust mask is recommended for cutting operations that create fine dust.
FASTENING:MagBoard™ panels can be fastened pneumatically using T-head brad nails, in steel or wood, ring nails or staples in wood, or suitable screws for individual applications finishing.
Traditional fastening patterns for sheathing should be used, unless advised otherwise by the project specific engineer. Sheathing should be installed maintaining a minimum 3-4mm spacing. It is advised to glue to provide additional adhesion between the sheathing and backing.
FINISHING: The smooth side of theMagBoard™ is suitable for interior applications where painting or any fine texture finish will be required. A backer board for tile is also available. For exterior applications the smooth side would be be used except where some stucco alternatives. In this case the base coat texture and finish coat are applied to the rough side of the board.
